The End of an Era…

…marks the beginning of great changes! You may have received the notice in your inbox by now that the latest (and final) edition of the “Connecting Design Threads” newsletter was uploaded to my website and is ready for you to check out.

While on my website, take a little extra time to visit the gallery. I am now sharing my newest work, created in January. At the same time I have reorganized several albums to showcase my two solo exhibitions for 2012. Let me know what you think.

Please remember to sign on as a follower to the blog (if you have not done so already!) to stay current and secure a chance to have your name pulled from “the bowl” to receive one of four prizes on March 1st. I have well over 100 names so far! Signing up to follow will not provide me with your name directly (as mentioned earlier – your privacy is protected). Either send me an email or leave a comment below to ensure I have your email or name on file.

Thank you for your continued support. I am actively working on new content to share on this site and I welcome your input anytime!

I would like to sign on as a follower of your blog. I have been enjoying your newsletter since you were here to Kenora to teach…always inspiring. I have purchased several of your recommended books and am enjoying them too. I recently lucked into Quilted Planet for $2.63 + shipping! I also found 2 great books on embroidery at the Strand Bookstore in NYC a couple years ago. Not sure if your collection includes them. One is a stitch reference (The Stitches of Creative Embroidery by Jacqueline Enthoven) and the other features many different artists, with bio and background info as well as some of their work (Celebrating the Stitch by Barbara Lee Smith). I haven’t done a lot of embellishment…yet. But your work inspires me to take the leap.

Hi Linda, to sign on as a follower to my blog click on “About” at the top of the page and you will get to my home page. The button to “follow”is on the right hand side about half way down the page. Click on that and it will take you through a couple of steps.
Thanks for the update on your book purchases. Regular book reviews will be part of the blog! Watch for them! “The Quilted Planet” for $ 2.63 is a true treasure! I have never found that book for less than $ 15. Congratulations! The other books are familiar to me and are great resources for embellishing. Thanks for sharing!

You are welcome, Beulah! I am excited about this way of communication. I am planning on three posts a week and hope that the information I am sharing is of interest to a wide range of followers. Stay in touch!

Hi, Anna,
Your dawn photos were great. Our windows face north and south here in Silver Springs, Calgary. I love watching sunrises and sunsets and have told my husband if we ever move, I want a house that lets me see them without peering from the edges of the window!

Hello Pat,
I met someone a little while ago who lived in Calgary for 10 years and returned to Saskatchewan because she missed the sunsets. when I am honest I must agree with her! Both sunsets and sunrises are spectacular here. As I am typing this the sun slowly inches her way over the hills across the lake. the sky is turning pale blue and orange – stunning!!!

Hi Anna,
I just signed up to follow your blog and I shall be pleased to do so . I will have to admit that I signed up to do that a while back but put in an incorrect email address. Guess this was a ‘senior moment” !
